Callisto in NC
Washing Up
What am I supposed to do with these short of "regifting" them to the food bank next weekend? I've never had them before and they came in our food box.
Thank you. I would have not known to soak for a full night (seriously, these things are new to me I've never eaten one in my life). Knowing me I would have soaked for an hour and been mad that they weren't soft. Foreknowledge is better then hindsight when it comes to cooking.Put them in a pot of water and soak overnight. The next day drain them and use in the recipe above or any other recipe you decide to use.
Oh no do NOT re-gift them. They are awesome beans!
Try this recipe. It is a huge hot every time I make it. When I made it last (at a BBQ for my company) every single person there asked for the recipe.
Black Eyed Pea Salad
Thanks David. Send it over, I'd love to get as many recipes as I can.Callisto in North Carolina - Charlotte is it not? David, formerly from Hickory. Do learn to cook dried beans - black eyed peas are a southern speciality, especially with some ham hocks. Do you need an authentic southern recipe? Will send one if you like. Couldn't be simpler. Been thinking about you and hoping you are well. D
